 Jatto Asihu Abdulqudir, 36, a protocol assistant, was travelling to
an Ecowas function with Liberian Patrick Sawyer, the man who brought
Ebola to Nigeria last month. Abdulqudir had been under quarantine.
The country has reported eight cases of Ebola since Sawyer arrived
on July 20.
"The Commission wishes to reassure staff of all Community
institutions all over the entire region that it is taking all
necessary steps to guarantee their health and safety," Ecowas said
in a statement.
